Complex Cover Girl: Olivia Munn
Posted by: Jon Haehnle on February 6, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Hey, Complex’s cover girl this month is my favorite G4 host paying tribute to Phoebe Cates’ classic coming-out-of-the-pool scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High — how can I resist? As is oh-so-correctly noted on Phoebe’s Wikipedia page: “this image of her became inextricably imprinted on a generation of teenage boys”, and God knows I was one of those little bastards …

I’ve always looked at Olivia Munn like, “There’s something about that girl, I don’t know what it is” but I wasn’t ever really sure what my attraction was. As it turns out though, Wikipedia informs me that Ms. Munn is in fact, half Chinese — so I guess that explains that. I also found out today — yes, via Wikipedia again — that Phoebe Cates is in fact 1/8 Asian (grandfather was of Chinese Filipino descent), which I never knew but should probably have suspected somehow.
It occurs to me that some kids are so young they never saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High and have no clue who the hell Phoebe Cates is. I kind of wonder what the next gen equivalent is… That girl from American Pie? Who knows…

You couldn’t tell Olivia Munn was half-asian? Okay, buddy! She reminds me of Rosario Dawson’s character from Clerks II. The Complex article wouldn’t happen to have anything on Olivia’s thoughts on A.T.M., would it?
